Alba Partner Network

When we work with our Partner Network, there are three things that each member needs regardless of the application – affordability, an excellent lead time and superior quality. Fortunately, Alba manufactures the industry’s toughest and most rugged pallet handling conveyor. Why is this important? It saves our customers grief and angst. Because of our durability, end users have fewer maintenance headaches. Our conveyor is built to take abuse.We stand behind our quality with a two-year warranty on all our conveyors.

Congratulations to the entire Alba Manufacturing Team. During a breakfast and awards ceremony at PROMAT 2017, Alba was awarded sixth place in overall sales for Southworth Products. They make an excellent product and we are proud to be a partner. For some reason, people find it hard to believe that we rank so high on their sales chart, especially since we only sell through our Alba Partner Network members: distributors, system integrators and original equipment manufacturers.

Alba Manufacturing only sells through its Alba Partner Network (APN) such as Distributors, Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and System Integrators (SIs). We do this for one reason – to make sure the end-user receives the best service possible. A key benefit for Alba, is that through our Alba Partner Network, we are continually challenged to adapt and engineer existing materials to solve various applications at hand.

"At Alba Manufacturing, gratitude is an essential ingredient to business and relationships – not only with suppliers and partner network members, but most importantly with our team members. Without our talented crew, we wouldn’t be where we are today," shared Tom Inderhees, president of Alba Manufacturing. To share comradery and give thanks, the Alba team held a pig roast on August 12, 2015. The delicious menu was catered by Jack’s, a local, well-known caterer.

Charlie Sears is our newest Account Manager and he will help our Alba Partner Network members in the local and Central Ohio area. With more than 22 years of experience in material handling, Charlie brings a wealth of knowledge to our team. His favorite food is chicken and he loves to watch baseball and basketball. Charlie grew up in Louisville, Kentucky, where basketball is nonexistent – NOT! He has a wonderful family, Laura Rebecca, Emma, Kyle and Snickers (the dog). When he’s away from Alba, Charlie enjoys watching his kids participate and excel at their preferred sports.

Alba Manufacturing provides products and services through select partners – the Alba Partner Network (APN). APN members consist of system integrators (SIs), original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and distributors. Through our partners, product end-users receive superior engineering and design, responsive support with an established and experienced local presence.

Today is a very exciting day here at Alba. We are leveraging our team’s “star” power to demonstrate our capabilities to our Partner Network members as well as potential product end-users. This video will be one component of a major branding campaign planned for launch in January, 2015. The ultimate goal is to better communicate and visually demonstrate our engineering, design and manufacturing capabilities.
